I own three or four CF/Ti blades from Ian and have one of the OWP/SCI versions as well. I'd be pleased as hell with the OWP version if I were you. The laminates are cool but the plain Ti blade just seems better. To me it's something I'm less afraid to work with.
I'd like to do a similar run of a different blade in the same manner that OWP did. For what it's worth, Ian pushed it away in order to finish the stuff he has now.
